Savory Onion Crackers(Low Fat)

Did you try Savory onion crackers from Red chillies site? I did and I just loved it. I am always looking for low fat snack recipes to go with tea. This one fits the bill. I made some changes to her recipe. It came out crispy and delicious. Onion gives a wonderful flavor to the crackers.

I replaced white flour with whole wheat flour and also added rice flour for crunchiness.I eliminated butter and baking soda.

Method:Mix all the above ingredients except oil and start kneading.Add oil little by little and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes. It should be very soft like a chapathi dough. Make small balls.Preheat oven to 350 F.Line the baking tray with foil. Place a ball and flatten it out with your palm into thin circles.Repeat the same with other balls.Bake until golden brown. My oven takes longer time to bake than it should normally take. I baked it for about 45 minutes. The actual recipe says 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on the oven and check if it is done after 25 minutes.

Oh it looks so nice! I can imagine how the texture must be just by looking at your pic :) Wish I had the time to make tea-time snacks. I am eating oatmeal now cuz none of the other snacks in our pantry will fit the bill for how I feel now!
